First, I'd edit your post to remove your business idea, you don't need to reveal it for this purpose.

 

Second, I'd probably hire an attorney to act as your agent and collect funds in escrow. They'll also obviously need to be funded to pay any potential business licensing costs, but they'll already have infrastructure in place to handle things (like escrow accounts or existing contracts with escrow services). Obviously you'll wish to find one comfortable with managing accounts at these online services that you can easily communicate with. Preferably even one fluent in your native language.

 

Unfortunately, like anything, it costs money to make money. Legal fees in the United States are pretty hefty, but regulations offer significant protection for clients. However note, it's not necessarily apparent to those of other countries, different States within the United States have different laws. This is why many corporations are formed in Delaware. An attorney is only licensed to practice within the state of which they have passed the bar exam. So I would probably look closely at the contract for Amazon or Kickstarter, and perhaps consider an attorney that is licensed within their specified State of operation (where they say conflict resolution or remediation would take place were there a dispute).

 

Also, in my view, most in the United States are not prepared to deal with foreign countries as much as smaller countries. The U.S. is huge in comparison to Canada or the Netherlands (heck, California alone has more people than all of Canada), most only do business with each other, while many in Canada are used to doing business with U.S. entities regularly, and I imagine plenty of transactions dealt with regularly in the Netherlands are of foreign nature.

 

Actually, best might be finding a business person local to you who has some interaction overseas, who might be able to expand to facilitate your process. That way also there's less likelihood of problems, since their reputation with a fellow countryman would be on the line as well. Similarly, know anyone with family in those places?

 

Are there organizations to promote new businesses or entrepreneurial start-ups who might have/provide resources? (In the U.S. there's something called the Small Business Administration.) Back when I was starting various businesses, an organization associated with them, of retired businessmen volunteered their time to provide valuable insights and wisdom to me.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
